THE AGE OF ALONENESS

THE AGE OF ALONENESS



The age of the internet has become the age of aloneness. Here we all sit, alone, safe in our living-rooms, bedrooms, or wherever, with our computer screens shining in our faces. Although we don't speak to each other or see each other (well sometimes we do with our web-cams), we are sharing things we never shared with each other before. Sharing our favorite videos, songs, pictures and thoughts, in an endless stream that we can access whenever we want. As one friend of mine put it, we are "Cyber-Jamming" in a way we have never before experienced.
